[The heroine should pay attention to our male lead! Look at him with his head down, looking lost, like a homeless puppy!]
[The second male lead is completely devoted to the female lead, but unfortunately the female lead is just a stubborn person who refuses to give in! ]
Text appeared in front of her again. Wen Xia Nuan was still skeptical, but she couldn't help but glance at Huo Jue. He was indeed hanging his head and looked lost.
She opened her mouth in a hurry, took a breath of air, and couldn't help coughing.
"Are you okay, Wen Zhiqing?"
Seeing her face flushed from coughing, Huo Jue reached out his hand to pat her on the back, but after a moment he pulled his hand back, fearing that she would think he was being imprudent.
Wen Xia Nuan waved her hand: "No, it's okay."
She smiled dryly, and after calming down, her eyes fell on the sachet in his pocket. She felt strangely familiar: "What is this?"
Huo Jue took out the sachet from his pocket and looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, do you know this? I found this on the side of the road and was just about to report it to the brigade to see who lost it."
Wen Xia Nuan lives in Gu Yiyi's house and is the one who is most familiar with her.
At this moment, she heard Huo Jue's voice and reached out to take it: "Can you let me see it?"
Huo Jue naturally handed the sachet to her. Wen Xia Nuan reached out to take it and put her nose close to it to smell it, but Huo Jue reached out to stop her. Wen Xia Nuan looked at her with a puzzled look. He said, "This is licorice. If you smell it too much, you will feel dizzy."
Wen Xia Nuan nodded thoughtfully, looking at the sachet in her hand: "This should belong to Gu Yiyi. I've seen it on her before."
"I'm going back to her house, so let me take it."
Huo Jue took in the woman's smile. His expression remained unchanged, but his ears turned red. "Then I'll have to trouble Wen Zhiqing."
Wen Xia Nuan waved her hands, worrying about how to break the situation, but she didn't expect Huo Jue to have already handed her a solution.
"I'm going back first."
Wen Xia Nuan waved to Huo Jue, turned around and rushed towards Gu Yiyi's home.
"Sister Yiyi, I'm back!"
Wen Xia Nuan's voice came, and Gu Yiyi also came out of the kitchen: "Wen Zhiqing, wait a minute, dinner will be ready soon."
Wen Xia Nuan waved her hands repeatedly: "No, you guys eat, I'm not hungry."
She sat on the stone bench in the yard, looking at Gu Yiyi, unable to understand how she and Li Tianqi got together.
After all, one of them went to the fields to earn work points during the day, while the other worked in the fields. These two people who had nothing in common actually had a child!
"Wen Zhiqing, is there something on my face?"
Gu Yiyi saw Wen Xia Nuan staring at her and couldn't help but touch her face.
"No."
She touched the sachet in her pocket and her eyes fell on the curl of smoke rising from the chimney of the adobe house outside the yard.
It should have been a peaceful scene, but Wen Xia Nuan felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest.
"Auntie Xia Nuan!"
Tuan Tuan's voice brought Wen Xia Nuan back to her senses and she looked over. The little child did look somewhat like Li Tianqi if she looked closely.
Wen Xia Nuan forced a smile and looked at Tuan Tuan: "What's wrong? Do you need me for something?"
"Aunt Xia Nuan, look, this is the fish I caught for you. I'll let my mom stew it for you later!"
Wen Xia Nuan pulled the corner of her mouth but said nothing.
Tuan Tuan held the fish in his hand and looked at her: "Aunt Xia Nuan, this is the fish I caught with great difficulty. Don't you want to eat it?"
His face was full of disappointment, and Wen Xia Nuan saw it. The moment her heart softened, the barrage of comments popped up again.
[Our heroine is soft-hearted. This kid looks innocent, but he has so many thoughts! If he doesn't please Wen Xia Nuan, how can he go to Kyoto?]
[That's right. Later on, after learning that our beloved daughter had died, he completely stopped pretending and just enjoyed the Wen family's things with a clear conscience!]
Wen Xia Nuan also obviously saw the barrage, and quickly waved towards Tuan Tuan: "Come here!"
"What's the matter, Auntie?"
He still held the fish in his hand. Wen Xia Nuan looked at his back and said, "Your back is very dirty. Let me pat it for you!"
Wen Xia Nuan watched him obediently turn his back to her, patted his back, and then ruffled his hair: "Okay, it's clean."
"By the way, Tuantuan, do you remember what your father looks like?"
When this was mentioned, Tuantuan's face drooped: "No, my mother said that my father died before I was born."
Wen Xia Nuan touched his head. She had only been in the village for a short time and didn't know much about Gu Yiyi's family affairs. It seemed that she had to find someone who knew her well to ask.
The night gradually darkened, and the sound of dogs barking could be heard from time to time on the quiet road. Wen Xia Nuan endured the fear in her heart and walked towards the Huo family with her head held high.
The muddy road finally came to an end. Under the dim moonlight, Huo Jue's home looked even more dilapidated among the adobe houses.
Because he was a local rich man, there were not many people around his house.
Wen Xia Nuan reached out and knocked on the tightly closed courtyard door until hurried footsteps were heard, the door opened, and Huo Jue's figure appeared in front of her.
"Wen Zhiqing?"
Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue's polite address, and her heart was beating fast. Is he really reliable?
[Did you see that? Did you see that? The heroine came looking for him, and this stuffy boy's ears turned red!]
[I'm secretly happy! If the heroine is crying and complaining, he'll do whatever she asks him to do, believe it or not?!]
Wen Xia Nuan saw the barrage of comments appearing in front of her and glanced at Huo Jue with suspicion, but when she thought about what she was about to do, tears started to flow before she could say a word.
Huo Jue was indeed panicked: "Wen Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Xia Nuan reached out and grabbed his wrist: "Huo, Huo Jue, I, I can't do anything, can you help me?"
Huo Jue's body was stiff, but he didn't say anything. Wen Xia Nuan waited for a long time without getting a reply from him, and her heart couldn't help but sink. It was over, could this trick of hers be useless?
"If you can't help me, my life will be over."
She let go of his wrist and was about to leave, but Huo Jue grabbed her hand back: "Wait, Wen Zhiqing."
Wen Xia Nuan paused, and Huo Jue's voice came: "If you need any help, just tell me directly."
At this moment, these words were like the sound of nature. Wen Xia Nuan looked up at Huo Jue and finally smiled through her tears: "Thank you, Huo Jue."
"Come in first."
Wen Xia Nuan sat on the stone bench in the yard and quickly told Huo Jue the whole story. Looking at Huo Jue, she bit her lip and said hesitantly, "I need you to help me with something, is that okay?"
Huo Jue didn't expect Li Tianqi to be so despicable!
Seeing Wen Xia Nuan's pleading eyes on him, he remembered the first time they met. It was Wen Xia Nuan who gave him a steamed bun without any prejudice. He couldn't bear to let her down, so he nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."
